Are there classes of irrational numbers Example would be is pi a different type irrational number from the square root of 2?
This is an interesting question that has actually been studied with the concept of irrationality measure. Consider a real number x. For a positive number y, there may exist pairs (p, q) of positive integers with q > 1 such that 0 < abs(x - p/q) < 1/qy. As y increases, 1/qy approaches 0.
What we want to consider is those numbers y such that there exist infinitely many pairs (p, q) satisfying the above criteria. Specifically, let z be the least upper bound of the set of all such y. Then z is the irrationality measure of x.
Under this definition, the irrationality of a rational number is 1, the irrationality of an irrational algebraic number (an algebraic number is a number which is a root of a non-zero polynomial with integer coefficients) is 2, and the irrationality of a transcendental number (a number which is not algebraic) is 2 or greater. There exist numbers with infinite irrationality measure, called Liouville numbers.

[ square root of (2) ] is irrational
Why irrational numbers are roots?
Irrational numbers can be roots because they are solutions to certain mathematical equations. For example, the square root of 2 is an irrational number that is a solution to the equation x^2 = 2. Similarly, other irrational numbers can be roots of different equations depending on their mathematical properties.
Why are irrational numbers called surds?
Irrational number are NOT called surds. For example, pi is irrational but it is not a surd.Surds are a very small subset of irrational numbers.
What number is both real and irrational?
All irrational numbers are Real numbers - it's part of the definition of an irrational number. Imaginary numbers are neither rational nor irrational. An example of a number that is both Real and irrational is the square root of two. Another example is the number pi.
How is rational numbers different from irrational numbers?
Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions whereas irrational numbers can not be expressed as fractions.
Can an irrational number be a decimal if so give an example?
Irrational numbers are decimal numbers that can't be expressed as fractions. An example is the square root of 2
Can you subtract 2 irrational numbers to get a rational number?
Yes. Example: pi - pi = 0.You can even subtract two different irrational numbers to get a rational number.For example: e - (e - 1) = 1 or Φ - (1/Φ) = 1.
What is a example of irrational number?
An Irrational Number is a Number that cannot be converted to a Fraction and has an unstoppable amount of numbers after the decimal point. For Example, Pi is the most famous irrational number. If I didn't answer your question, search up Irrational Numbers.
Are repeating decimals rational?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers or decimals that repeat or terminate. Irrational numbers do not. For example π is an irrational number.
Example of two irrational numbers the product of which is an irrational number?
sqrt(2)*sqrt(3) is an irrational product.
What real number is also irrational?
All real numbers are irrational. For example, Pi is an irrational number that is a real number. Other irrational numbers can be the square root of an imperfect square.
What is an irrational number but not an integer?
No irrational numbers are integers. Pi is one example.
